Renaming the item (or) part number is a very key requirement in any of the Oracle EBS Implementation.
Let's take an example of defining an item accidentally with a wrong Unit of Measure(UOM).
As per standard functionality, you cannot edit or update an Item's UOM once it is defined. Now let's taken a Part # WM100 which is defined with wrong UOM. The workaround for this issue is renaming the existing item to some 'XXXWM100' and make it 'Inactive'. Now create a new item with correct UOM and retain the original part # i.e., WM100.
